S-band GaN based low noise MMIC amplifier design and characterization
(Bilkent University, 2019-02)Low Noise Amplifiers (LNA) are widely preferred components in receiver frontend modules. The received signal level is generally very low and amplifying it without adding too much noise is very crucial in communication ... -
S-band GaN high power amplifier design and implementation
(Bilkent University, 2019-02)High power RF Microwave amplifiers are becoming more important as the telecommunications, defense and aerospace industries' demands develop. GaN on SiC technology offers higher power and better form factors for these ... -
Safety limits & rapid scanning methods in magnetic particle imaging
(Bilkent University, 2017-07)Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) is a new imaging modality that utilizes nonlinear magnetization of superparamagnetic tracers, with high sensitivity and zeroionizing radiation advantages. Since the introduction of MPI in ... -
Safety of metallic implants in magnetic resonance imaging
(Bilkent University, 2005)Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is safe only if we take safety precautions. In the presence of a metallic implant inside the body, three types of magnetic fields encountered in MRI (Static magnetic field, radiofrequency ... -
Sait Faik'in hikâye ve romanlarında homoerotizm, erkek imgesi ve kadın temsilleri
(Bilkent University, 2010)The aim of this thesis is to investigate the issues of sexuality and gender in the short stories and novels of Sait Faik. The first chapter is devoted to the text analysis of fifteen homoerotic short stories. Later in ... -
Sales forecast inaccuracy and inventory turnover performance : an empirical analysis of US retail sector
(Bilkent University, 2010)We develop an empirical model to investigate the impact of various financial measures on inventory turnover performance. In particular, we used inaccuracy of quarterly sales forecasts as a proxy for demand uncertainty and ... -

(Bilkent University, 2016-04)The aim of this thesis is to determine the salient components of Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) as revealed in scholarly publications. Drawing the attention of leading universities around the world, MOOCs are new ... -
Same situation, different terminus : lessons regarding relations between Turkey and Greece and South Korea and Japan from 1948 to 1965
(Bilkent University, 2008)In 1948, Turkey-Greece and South Korea-Japan relations were in similar situations of a historical national animosity, perception of communist threat, and strategic interests of an alliance with the U.S. In 1965, whereas ... -
The Satanic ingredients in the seventeenth century witchcraft debate
(Bilkent University, 1997)This Thesis is a study on the witchcraft debates of seventeenth century England. Throughout the study a special emphasis is given to the debate over the existence of alliance of witches with the Devil. This conception ... -
Saving the Mediterranean: Med plan and international cooperation
(Bilkent University, 1995)The pollution of the Mediterranean environment is a problem common to almost all of the bodies of water on the surface of the earth. What sets the pollution in the Mediterranean Sea apart from any others is that intensive ... -
Scalable layout of large graphs on disk
(Bilkent University, 2015)We are witnessing an enormous growth in social networks as well as in the volume of data generated by them. As a consequence, processing this massive amount of data has become a major problem. An important portion of ... -
Scalable streaming profile clustering for telco analytics
(Bilkent University, 2013)Many telco analytics require maintaining call pro les based on recent customer call patterns. Such pro les are typically organized as aggregations computed at di erent time scales over the recent customer interactions. ... -
Scaling forecasting algorithms using clustered modeling
(Bilkent University, 2013)Research on statistical forecasting has traditionally focused on building more accurate models for a given time-series. The models are mostly applied only to limited data due to their limitation on efficiency and ... -
Scanning hall probe microscopy (SHPM) using quartz crystal AFM feedback
(Bilkent University, 2005)Scanning Hall Probe Microscopy (SHPM) is a quantitative and non-invasive technique for imaging localized surface magnetic field fluctuations such as ferromagnetic domains with high spatial and magnetic field resolution ... -
Scanning probe microscopy for optoelectronic characterization at the nanoscale
(Bilkent University, 2010)In this work, we propose methods for electrical characterization of nanostructured surfaces using electrostatic force and tunneling current measurements in scanning probe microscopy. Resolution smaller than 10 nm in ... -
Scattering and radiation problems of arbitrarily shaped conducting bodies above the ground plane
(Bilkent University, 2002)A method of moment solution is applied for the scattering and radiation problems of arbitrarily shaped conducting bodies placed close to an infinite ground plane. An equivalent problem is produced by using image theory ... -
Scattering from impedance objects at the edge of a perfectly conducting wedge
(Bilkent University, 2012)In this study, scattering from impedance bodies positioned at the edge of a perfectly conducting (PEC) wedge is investigated. In the treatment of the problem, eigenfunction expansion in terms of spherical vector wave ... -
